"tiny AWS instance running Postfix under Ubuntu. It has 2 Gigs of memory, priced around $9/month and the CPU load rarely goes beyond 15%"

The title should have been "How we send 22000 emails every hour for $9/month"

16 million emails for $9 is actually pretty good.

I'm really happy the answer ended up being "boring, old tools on a smallish (virtual) machine" since my immediate reaction to the headline was "that'd be slightly impressive I guess... with limited resources, 20 years ago".
